On the strength of several recommendations, I recently read Fluke by Christopher Moore. It gets a solid thumbs-up.

I've read three books by Moore now: Lamb, which I thoroughly enjoyed, Bloodsucking Fiends, which I couldn't finish, and now Fluke. Overall I would say this is the strongest of the three -- I laughed at it the most, and it never went off the rails like I thought Lamb did in a few places. Lamb may still be my favorite, though, just on the strength of the ending.

More discussion, with spoilers. )

So, which Moore to read next? The Stupidest Angel and Dirty Job both look mighty amusing. I'm a little concerned about picking his stuff up at random, though -- Bloodsucking Fiends appealed from the description, but I disliked it enough that it almost put me off him entirely. Any recommendations appreciated!
